...Tutor. A mediocre production of a mediocre play by Bertoldt Brecht, based on an 18th century work by Jacob Lenz. The hapless tutor, who has to castrate himself to keep his job, is supposed to represent intellectuals in Nazi Germany who kowtowed to Hitler. The play has the benefit of professional direction by Jurgen Flimm of the Thalia Theatre in Hamburg, Germany, but even he can't depetrify characters and dialogue as wooden as these. If you go, drink lots of coffee first. Recommended only for those who have friends in the cast. At the Loeb, October 29-November...
...Brecht's The Tutor. In the play, freedom is metaphorically equal to sexual license, so when the lecherous tutor castrates himself, Brecht's message is clear; this misguided soul, in his anxiousness to retain his livelihood, has performed an unnatural act, just like the German intellectuals who kowtowed to Hitler.

What this production does best, however--in fact, about the only thing it does well...

Meanwhile, Moynihan shrugged off the furor at the U.N., insisting that Amin had started it when "he slandered and blasphemed the American people by saying that we let the country be run by Zionists." Then a White House spokesman declared that President Ford felt that Moynihan "said what needed...
...piano, an innocent exploited by everyone he encounters, especially Wagner (who became his son-in-law). Lest the audience wonder about the personality of Wagner, the film transforms him into Dracula, literally sucking the blood of his first patron, then into Dr. Frankenstein, sole creator of a monster named Hitler...
...warriors managed to keep successive invading waves of Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Franks out of their fastnesses in the Pyrenees, and they were the only tribe in Europe that ever defeated the Prankish King Charlemagne. A Basque independent republic flourished briefly in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War, but Hitler's Stuka dive-bombers crushed it in the rubble of Guernica thus assuring the dictatorial control of all Spain by Franco...
